Resumo: In the municipality of Pedreira in São Paulo State, Brazil, a large number of workers from the ceramic industry have left their jobs because of work related musculoskeletal disorders. The objectives of this study were to describe the work conditions pertaining to the ceramic industry, to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and to identify the associations between symptoms and organizational, biomechanical, psychosocial and individual variables. Nine ceramic manufacturers participated. The activities of 18 individuals were analyzed through direct observation. All workers answered a questionnaire about work and health (n = 235). The results found that the general working conditions in the pottery manufacturers were poor. A 38.5% prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was found. Repetition, tool use, lack of control over decisions, worries regarding work demands, relationship issues, work dissatisfaction and the wish to move on to another function were all associated with pain. We concluded that musculoskeletal pain is one of the outcomes of elevated human requirements resulting from working conditions and organization in the ceramic industry.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram descrever as condições de trabalho, determinar a prevalência de dor e identificar associações entre sintomas e variáveis organizacionais, biomecânicas, psicossociais e individuais. Nove indústrias participaram do estudo. As atividades de 18 pessoas foram analisadas através de observações diretas. Todos os trabalhadores responderam a um questionário sobre trabalho e saúde (n = 235). Os resultados indicaram que as condições de trabalho nas indústrias cerâmicas estudadas eram ruins. Foi encontrada uma prevalência de 38,5% de dor. Repetitividade, utilização de instrumentos de trabalho, falta de autonomia para decisões, preocupação com a produção, problemas de relacionamento, insatisfação no trabalho e desejo de mudar de função foram associadas à dor. Concluiu-se que a dor osteomuscular é uma das conseqüências do elevado custo humano derivado das condições e da organização do trabalho nas indústrias cerâmicas.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2010-03-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4410Reports in Public Health; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2010): MarchCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 26 n. 3 (2010): Março1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4410/8983https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4410/8984Melzer, Adriana Cristina de SouzaIguti, Aparecida Mariinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:10Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/4410Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:05:05.743310Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
